justerini & brooks tasting note

Tasted on multiple occasions, both as individual components and in its final reunified state, Clos des Lambrays 2022 is magnificent. Perfumed, nuanced, and aromatically expressive, its scent fills the glass with aromas of flowers, spice, pipe tobacco and a panoply of red and black fruit. Hitting the palate, well, more stroking the palate, the effect is sheer flow, charm and persistence. There’s great concentration here but it’s handled lightly, with the limestone parcels coming through on the finish and providing a light touch of salinity. Pixellated and persistent, sophisticated and seductive; this is superb and may go down as something of a landmark vintage. It was the first vintage vinified in the new gravity fed winery and the first to be certified organic. Harvest started on 1st September and finished on the 8th.

critic reviews

96-98/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2022 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru is a blend of 11 different cuvées and includes, for the first time, the plot of "30 Rangs". This vintage includes 80% whole bunches, and like La Richemoine, it is deftly subsumed on the nose, which blossoms with vivacious red berry fruit, forest floor, white truffle, and light autumn leaf scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a svelte Clos des Lambrays with a slightly chalky, mineral-rich finish. Very tender and complex, this is undoubtedly a great wine with a long-term future.
